A Plague Tale Requiem Chapter 11 Walkthrough

Head To The Map

1. Use Sophia’s Prism to go down the path. Use the sling with Ignifer to make it possible for you to use the prism while traveling between distant torches. You can also burn haystacks to act as temporary bonfires for you to use the prism. Continue until you arrive at the festival grounds.
2. Move next to the cart. Fire a lighted crossbow bolt into the overturned table. Walk towards the hook rope and pull the cart. Immediately run after the cart as it passes by and stops at the middle of the grounds. Use the cart and push it towards the exit.
3. Throw an Ignifer unto the haystack and make a beeline towards the next torch. Light the next torch and use refract to travel between them. Once you reach the last torch, use the crates to climb up.
4. Move towards the map. Don’t go down yet and instead go to the center pillar to your left. Interact to push it to the ground and open a path.

Into The Depths

1. Follow the path and light the torch. Move towards the broken gate and squeeze through the broken wall to your right. Continue going down.
2. Time to use greek fire. Interact with the door and wait for Sophia to place the copper tank. Use your sling with Ignifer at the tank to make it go boom. Go through the door.
3. Use the workbench next door to upgrade. Towards the upper right corner of the room is a another tank. Use your sling to light it up. At the end of the room is a piece of Hugo’s collection. Head back out and use the hole to the left of the workbench.
4. Climb up and peek through the crack. Use your sling with Ignifer to make the tank explode, opening a path. Move back to the room and head towards the upper left corner. Use the door and continue until you reach a long pathway.
5. Go towards the other end of the pathway with the sealed door. Use the crank to raise the door, sending the cart barreling down to open a path. Head down.

Use The Torches

1. Go down towards the torch and light it up. Use Sophia’s Prism and head towards the brazier to your right. Push it away from the center and along the outer rail. You can stop by the first intersection to get a souvenir located just behind the chest at the edge.
2. After getting the souvenir, push the brazier towards the center. Relocate and push it towards the bridge. Continue running until you reach the door.

A Plague Tale Requiem Chapter 11 Door Puzzle

1. Don’t be intimidated by the door. You can do this. Anyway, you can start by collecting another souvenir nearby. At the right side of the hall is a door that is locked. Beside it is a hole. Use Hugo and have him go through a hole to open a door. Interact with the table to get a souvenir.
2. Now to the puzzle. For the left side, go to the door to your left and have Sophia use the crank. Go through the door and pull the cart until it full leaves the room.
3. Next, have Sophia pull the bar for the left door. Use the hook rope to pull the lever and lock the bar in place. Left side’s done, now we go to the right side.
4. The right side of the door requires timing. Position yourself beside the bar to pull. Before you start pulling, immediately order Hugo to pull the lever. Once he starts walking, pull the bar. If your timing is right, Hugo’s lever pull will exactly land at the same time the bar’s hole reaches the proper position. Move the crank with Sophia to open the big doors.

Across The Bridge

1. Use your sling to operate the mechanism to your left. Walk towards the other end of the bridge. Go down using the path to your left. Run towards the ladder.
2. Go through the chains and walk a bit to your right. Use your sling to destroy the chain link and squeeze through them.
3. Use Ignifer on the torch below and then jump down. Use an Ignifer crossbow bolt to light up the opposite wooden board then use another bolt to light up the next. Go to the second board and aim at the unlit brazier. Use your sling to light it up.
4. Go back to the first crossbow bolt. Use tar on the brazier at your starting location. Before you head back, pick up a stick. Light up that stick using the brazier and then make a beeline towards the other end.
5. Climb back up and go right. Use your sling to destroy the link and go through the chains. A locked workbench is available to your right so use it if you want to. To continue, light up the cart below you and push it towards the end. Climb up using the ledge to your right.
6. Light up the brazier and use tar to go through. Position yourself beside the hook rope. Use the rope and pull at the barrel that Sophia and Hugo sent to you. Throw an Ignifer at it to make it explode and allow you to move your cart. Push the cart forward until you reach the ladder.
7. Climb back up and reunite with the others. Continue moving forward until you reach the spiral staircase. Continue moving down until you reach the end.

Getting Out

1. Run! Follow Sophia and continue running. Don’t stop. There are some places where in you need to climb up or squeeze yourself into. Be prepared to use the action button as you sprint your way out.
2. Get across the crumbling bridge and continue trailing Sophia until you see the light.
